How to get flashcards from GoodNotes

Yes, you can. GoodNotes does not generate flashcards on GoodNotes on its own, but you can export your handwritten or typed pages as a PDF and turn that file into flashcards with DeckOwl.

Export the notebook or pages you want to study as a PDF from GoodNotes.
Upload one lecture or chapter at a time so each deck stays focused.
Proofread the first batch of cards to catch misread handwriting.
Study a little each day, since spaced repetition works best with short, regular sessions.

Works with GoodNotes PDF export

Export your notebook or selected pages as a PDF from GoodNotes and upload that file directly.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards come back at intervals based on how well you remember them, so you spend time on the ones you miss.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Use the same notes to create practice quizzes with explanations or a mind map of the main ideas.

How it works

Export your notes from GoodNotes

Open the notebook, use the export option, and save the pages as a PDF to your device.

Upload to DeckOwl

Add the PDF and DeckOwl generates flashcards from the text it reads on each page.

Review the cards

Check the cards against your notes, then study them in the browser on the free plan.

Handwriting is read with text recognition, so clear, legible pages give the best results. Check each card against your original page before you rely on it, especially for diagrams and formulas.

Once your cards are created, review them with spaced repetition so the terms you forget come back more often. Exporting to Anki or CSV is available on paid plans.

Frequently asked questions

Can I export GoodNotes pages directly into DeckOwl?

You export them as a PDF from GoodNotes first, then upload that file to DeckOwl. Image photos of pages are also accepted.

How many flashcards should I make from one lecture's notes?

Start with the key terms, definitions, and facts your instructor emphasized, rather than every sentence. A focused deck is easier to review consistently than a very long one.

Do I need to pay to export flashcards?

Yes. Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV is available on the Plus plan, while the free plan lets you study in the browser.

Is the free plan enough to try it with my GoodNotes files?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month, so you can test it with one or two PDFs before deciding whether to upgrade.
